Once when I was young, my dad and I were walking home from the park and it started to rain. My dad didn't want to get all wet so he started to run so he could get out of the rain as soon as possible. Well, being a naive little girl and seeing my big strong daddy running, I figured he was afraid of the rain, and that rain must be a very scary and harmful thing indeed if it could frighten my dad. I was afraid of the rain for a long time afer that.
